MSI has announced a list of its current Socket AM3-based motherboards that will be fully compatible with AMD's upcoming Socket AM3+ multi-core processors. By upgrading the BIOS, users will be able to experience the full performance of the (Bulldozer) AM3+ processors without spending a single cent.

The new Socket AM3+ processors will bring more cores than what the AMD Phenom II line offers, as well as a larger L3 cache and support for more memory. Fabricated using the 32nm processor, these new processors will offer better electrical and thermal specifications than its predecessors.

Apart from upgrading BIOSes on existing Socket AM3 products, MSI will publish Socket AM3+-ready BIOS versions (of supporting motherboards) on their website so that end-users can prepare their machines for the new processors.

The following is a list of motherboards (and BIOSes, if ready) that will support the new AMD Socket AM3+ processors.
